    • We had pre-booked Hillwatering from Canada after it had been recommended to us. It more than lived up to its billing! We wound our way down into the valley where Sabie is located after our 5-hour drive from Johannesburg, just as darkness was falling at about 5:30 PM.

    Unique Qualities: Our hosts immediately showed us upstairs to our large bedroom with a huge attached bathroom. A separate door led out onto a balcony, equipped with table and chairs, and with a wonderful view of the mountains and the valley below. We liked the establishment so much that we ended up booking a second night there at a cost of 300 Rand per night (about US$80 at that time).

    • While standing out on our deck admiring the views, we could see African ladies and their children walking down a path into Sabie. They also noticed us and turned to wave even though we were quite some distance away - it was a nice gesture! Our deck is shown at the upper right side in this photo taken from the back garden which was surrounded by a huge hedge.

    Unique Qualities: On the first morning there, we were up early, before our agreed upon time for breakfast, so I spent some time wandering around in their garden checking out the bird life. I had a laugh watching a Scissor-Tailed Whynah performing an aerial courtship ritual before I turned to my tourist info to see what attractions we should take in after breakfast!

    • On our first night at Hillwatering, we decided to make use of that huge bathroom after a long day's drive from Johannesburg and our evening meal out in Sabie. On our arrival at the B&B, we had purchased a very nice bottle of South African 1982 Alto Rouge from their private celler. It felt great to soak in the tub and enjoy a flavourful wine by candle light! It was a satisfying feeling to be underway in Africa again after so many years away!

     LOL! Glenn- you seem to be having fun in that bathtub! Great page on Sabie. The Drakensberg is certainly a beaut area of SA. Lovely photos have captured your adventure perfectly. Regards.    		Jenniflower Tue Mar 24, 2009 12:38 UTC
     Great page! We were here injanuary :) Thoughts of living here when we return to SA, but decided on White River/Nelspruit, or Stellenbosch/Franschoek. Nothing like a glass of SA red in the bath ;)

     Nonsense! They have more accomodative tours as well. Truthfully, I would do one of those the next time I went. The crowd was a bit TOO young! It rained when I was here too. At least you got a view at God's Window :)
